Cleaning Grain aud Hay Fields.

Preaching economy has become mo-
notonous vet on the farm, as else
where. waste takes more than storms.
frosts and insects. 1t is the worst
form of waste to prepare the land, to
manure it, to cultivate the plant, and
then leave good part of the crop on
the ground. When small grain is cut
bya self-binder, properly operated, SO
little grain is left on the field, that it
will not pay for cleaning it. But
where reaper with rake or dropper
attachment is used, or the grain is cut
with cradle, cleaning is quite profit
able, especially in the wheat field The
best implement for the purpose is Il
hay rake. The rcvolving-head rake is
better than the spring-tooth sulky
rake, as it does not rake so close, and
While gathering up the grain will take
less foreign matter, especially when
the grain has been sown on corn stalk
ground, without removing the stalks.
The cleaning should be done as soon
as the grain is cut, as that lying OH
the stubble is rapidly damaged; even
the dew and sun bleach it, and hard
rain will beat it down into the stubble.
If the cleaning is done at once, the
grain will be Of as good quality as
that taken from the reaper. The grain
may be bound or moved away loose
Cleaned oats are best fed unthreshed.
A boy in Illinois cleared one hundred

Mark Twain on Farming.

Here. remarked the famous humor-
ist, Mark Twain. in Il recent address, is
Il composition wrote on farming when
boy; Farming is healthy work; but
no man can run farm and wear his
best clothes at the same time. Either
the farming must cease while the new
clothes continue. or the new clothes
cease while the farming continues
This shows that farming is not so clean
work as being a Congressman or school
master. for these men can wear good
clothes if they can find money to pay
for them (Laughterl. Farmers get up
early in the morning. They say the
early bird catches the worm. If | was
4 bird, I rather get up late and eat
cherries in the place of worms. Laugh,
ter. Farmers don't paint their wagons
when they can help it, for they show
mud too quick. The color of their
boots IS red. and don t look like other
peoples boots. because they are twice
as big. (Applausc). Farmers wives
have hard time cooking for hired
mon. and the hired men find fault with
the farmers cooking. Why don't farm
ers' wives let the hired men do the
cooking while they do the finding fault.
Great applause. Farmers don't get
as rich as bank presidents, but they get
more exercise. (Prolonged laughter.)
Some ask, WHY don't farmers run for
Congress : They run so much keep
ing boys out Of their peach orchards
and melon patches they don't have
any time to run aftcr-anything else.-
If Congress should run after farmers
one might be caught now and then.-
LAWYERS can beat farmers at running
for most anything. | know Il farmer
who tired 10 run ii line fence according
to his notion. The other man objected
and hurt the farmer. The farmer hir-
ed 4 lawyer to run his line of fence, and
now the lawyer runs the farmers farm,
and the farmer has stopped running
anything. Speaking Of running re-
minds me of our calf that ran away to
the woods. There were not enough
men in the county to catch that calf

woods. and she caught the calf, PROV
